let's do it :

Sounds good.

<br>
<br>
Yes. If we are moving systerserver.town to mur.at then it would be
good to have this funds in Europe as it will be much easier to
transfer funds to pay for donations in mur.at. If we keep it in
digital ocean then it may be better to have the funds in the US.
But this is something to check.

<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<br>
-name - ? do we refer to systerserver - or do we have 'another
name' which can hosts different servers/sysadmins costs &
fees. e.g. SYSADMIN!Unite
<br>
It would be great more independent sysadmins who wants to work
on the feminist servers can join.

<blockquote type="cite">Hey!
<br>
<br>
Here is the information about open collective that I got
from their documentation.
<br>
<br>
To create an account
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/create-collective">https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/create-collective</a>)
we will need to have individual accounts that manage the
collective page in opencollective.com. We need to make a
decision if to have a fiscal host (pay a fee but no need for
bank account) or go independent (no fee but need a bank
account).
<br>
<br>
Two options:
<br>
<br>
1. Independent collective:
<br>
1. Unlimited access to all features
<br>
2. No fees if we hold money in your own bank account
<br>
3. We would need to see how taxes work here.
<br>
2. Through a fiscal host:
<br>
1. Unlimited access to all features
<br>
2. A fiscal host is an organization that welcomes others
to operate
<br>
through their structure, so projects can use the
host’s legal
<br>
entity and bank account instead of setting up their
own. The
<br>
host provides administrative services, oversight, and
support
<br>
3. Fees depend on who is the fiscal host. It could be
10%, 5% or 0%
<br>
4. Tax-exempt or charity status
<br>
5. Options for fiscal hosts:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opencollective.com/search?isHost=true">https://opencollective.com/search?isHost=true</a>
<br>
1. Open Collective Europe hosts 363 collectives (for
example
<br>
host lurk.org and mastodon.world) :
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opencollective.com/europe">https://opencollective.com/europe</a>
<br>
2. Open Collective US hosts 3384 collectives (mostly
open
<br>
source projects, for example mastodon):
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opencollective.com/opensource">https://opencollective.com/opensource</a>
<br>
3. Fiscal hosts for mastodon projects
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opencollective.com/search?q=mastodon">https://opencollective.com/search?q=mastodon</a> .
Some of this
<br>
projects are on their own and some have other
fiscal hosts
<br>
like Accountable
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opencollective.com/the-social-change-nest">https://opencollective.com/the-social-change-nest</a>
<br>
<br>
To pay people: Money contributed to a Collective goes to the
bank account of the fiscal host. When someone wants to be
paid, they submit the expense through the collective page in
the open collective website. After one of us approve it, the
person is reimbursed via PayPal. "Expenses are visible
publicly, so everyone can see how much money was spent and
on what (though private details like emails, names, and
addresses are only visible to that user and the admins)."
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/collectives">https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/collectives</a>
